Apostle of Love

 Hi Faithers!  Sorry I've been MIA....I've been busy with classes.  I've been reading the book 12 Ordinary Men and I am also writing the book of John.  So when I started writing John, I was reading about the apostle John and thought I would combine both efforts on this page.  So the top notes are from the book reading.  Then I was using my Faith Art stamps just in what was speaking to me.  I used the Mermaid Lagoon Paint dauber, and didn't have to prep my page.  The heart background is a Tim Holtz stencil with Pan Pastels.

I met with our small group today and we did a cute page with a Phyllis Harris Unity stamp....I'll share that tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.  What are you working on or reading lately??

Bible Journaling - Testing

If you already have a variety of different products in your collection and want to know how they react on your pages make a test page.  In the front and back of your Bible you have some pages that can be used to see how they react on that thin Bible page.  Some products bleed through and some don't.  As you can see I went through my stash of products and did a variety of different methods to see what would bleed through on an untreated page.

Stamp with Memento  -  bleeds thru 
Stamp with Archival   -   bleeds thru 
Distress Ink -   went on easy-does bleed thru 
Gelatos   - dry—uneven, wet smooth, no bleed thru

Dylusions Spray -  nice color—bleed thru

Pan Pastels   -  good color little smearing

Prismacolor Pencils   -smooth & vibrant

Watercolors (Inktense)-    vibrant—little bleed thru

Acrylic Paints-  put on thin with credit card is transparent—put on thick for opaque with paint brush

Distress Stain  - bright color—bleed thru

Pens Micron Pens, Pitt Pens & Fude Ball, no bleed thru

These are the products that I used and the outcome on the back of the page.  It's good just to try different things and see what you like.  What your style is.

May you be blessed with some quiet moments today to get in the word and share some time with our Lord.

God Bless,

Jill
